You may be surprised with restriction of access to the attachments of the forum. The reason is the recent change in vbsupport.org strategy:

- users with reputation < 10 belong to "simple_users" users' group
- if your reputation > 10 then administrator (kerk, Luvilla) can decide to move you into an "improved" group, but only manually

Main idea is to increase motivation of community members to share their ideas and willingness to support to each other. You may write an article for the subject where you are good enough, you may answer questions, you may share vbulletin.com/org content with vbsupport.org users, receiving "thanks" equal your reputation points. We should not only consume, we should produce something.

- you may:
* increase your reputation (doing something useful for another members of community) and being improved
* purchase temporary access to the improved category:
10 $ for 3 months. - this group can download attachments, reputation/posts do not matter.
20 $ for 3 months. - this group can download attachments, reputation/posts do not matter + adds eliminated + Inbox capacity increased + files manager increased permissions.

Please contact kerk or Luvilla regarding payments.

Important!:
- if your reputation will become less then 0, you will be moved into "simple_users" users' group automatically.*
*for temporary groups (pre-paid for 3 months) reputation/posts do not matter.

In this thread we do requests for hacks.Attention! Request should contain:

Full name of hack.

Version of hack (the forum version is not necessary).

Link for hack.

Users who will post request incorrectly, will receive preventions. After three infringements the user will be banned.
Admin cannot view/read PM of users! Such hacks are forbidden. Who will make such request, will be immediately banned!

well,
to those who want the user could choose to receive or not emails, I did this:
I created a profile field called: "Receive Email Notifications on Visitor Messages"
The identification of the field was 'field5' (you can see this after you create the profile field, I created a radio button with two options: 'Yes' and 'No')
then, edit the two plugins of this product:
find (the first line of the plugin):
Code:
if($vbulletin->options['VMEN_active'] == 1)
and replace for:
Code:
if($vbulletin->options['VMEN_active'] == 1 AND $userinfo['field5'] == 'Yes')
pay attention to use the proper field identification (in my case was field5)
now, only those who have choosen 'Yes' will receive the email
another simple addition to have the link to the profile in the email is:
change this:
Code:
. 'Thanks.';
to this:
Code:
. "You can see your profile <a href=\"http://YOURDOMAIN/forum/member.php?u=" . $userinfo['userid'] . "\">here</a>" . "\n\r" . 'Thanks.';
make sure to use your own domain instead of "YOURDOMAIN"
ps: the only problem is that the email isnt at html form... so it will need to add some parameters to the vbmail function which is called at the end (I will try to investigate to understand how to do this)
